George M Rucker, Georgia

Aunt Ludie,
My paternal grandmother’s father was George M. Rucker and her mother’s name
was Katie Rainwater from Georgia. That’s where my grandmother was born.
Could you please give me information on these names or let me know where I
could find more information. It would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you,
ER

Dear ER,

First of all one of my favorite search engines for genealogy is Alta Vista.
You can access this engine by typing Alta vista, and then clicking the
button. This brings you to the blank to be filled in to go get your
information. I sometimes use just the full name such as George Rucker
family. This goes into many genealogy files and extracts (George Rucker). I
could also access with the plus sign. +Rucker +Rainwater, Georgia. This
will pull out Rucker and Rainwater to be in the file and it would also get
Georgia in with the Rucker and Rainwater query. I also look in a file
called genforum. Again type genforum, click on and enter. Go to a screen
and type in surname you want, or go to the regional state and or county and
look in their queries. I have sent you two links for Rainwater and Rucker
so you can browse these areas for distant cousins.

What I did find on these data excursions was many Ruckers did marry
Rainwater members. I found George M. Rucker c 1740 Culpepper Virgina and
his death in Franklin County Georgia, November 6, 1815. I also found Rosa
Katie Rainwater bn August 16,1864. Also look in Elbert County Georgia. A
cousin of yours is also searching this file and his email is
richrain@juno.com.

Happy Hunting
Aunt Ludie
